'Beyond the Hype: Why It's Time to Get Real About Exposure Management'

A cybersecurity vendor was talking to a potential client recently and asked a pretty straightforward question: ‘What have you got that needs to be protected?’ Instead of answering with specifics about systems, data and networks, or even admitting to uncertainty about the size and shape of their digital estate, the two client staffers started to argue about which security product had the right version of the truth. The vendor kept their counsel, but inside they were screaming: ‘These people are operating outside of reality.’

You can’t protect what you don’t know you’ve got. And you can’t assess your exposure to threat, never mind to risk, unless you can obtain and maintain a thorough, up-to-date and detailed asset-management picture. Security vendors don’t always help: marketing materials and industry buzzwords can cause confusion, and a proliferation of security solutions might give an illusion of deep and layered security while leaving holes in your digital defences.

Since acquiring cyber asset attack surface management specialist Noetic in July, Rapid7 believe they’re perfectly placed to offer broad, deep and comprehensive visibility of your operating environment. And it’s only after you’ve got a clear and complete picture of what you’re trying to protect, they argue, that you can really focus on your defensive duties.

Join a high-level group of your cybersecurity leadership peers for what promises to be another absorbing RANT roundtable, as our hosts from Rapid7 will try to help us cut through the hype and get real about exposure management.
